Greenhouse
The Greenhouse is a place for experimentation, for new ideas to germinate, iterate, and grow strong, sowing the seeds of change.
GWI opened the Greenhouse in fall 2019 to be a home base for a revolution – a hub for Just Transition in the Mahicantuck / Hudson Valley. The Greenhouse offers members of our community a physical space to work, collaborate, share wisdom, host meetings, celebrate events, and throw dance parties.
The Greenhouse is located at 65 St. James Street, Kingston, NY 12401.
